Ever feel like you’re in the room but not really in it? Like everyone else got the group chat memo except you? Same. In this episode, we’re getting real about what it means to be a chronic outsider—the girl who’s always been liked but never quite gotten, who’s friendly with everyone but still feels on the edge of every circle. I’m sharing my personal experiences, some insight, and why being the outsider might actually be your superpower (even when it doesn’t feel like it).
Plus, I’m introducing a brand-new segment: What Would Shawna Say? - where I answer your real questions and give you a response.
Whether you’ve always felt a little different or you’re just tired of trying to “fit in,” this episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start owning your space.

In this episode of Sessions with Shawna, we’re getting real about body image. From the silent comparisons to the inner critic that never seems to quiet down, I’m opening up about my own journey with body confidence and how it’s evolved through different stages of life. We’ll explore where our body image issues really come from, how social media plays a role, and most importantly—how to start seeing yourself with more compassion, respect, and love.
Whether you’re in the thick of it or simply want a healthier relationship with your reflection, this episode is your gentle reminder that your worth has never been tied to your weight, shape, or size.
TW: This episode includes honest conversation about body image and disordered eating patterns. Please listen with care. This episode is not a substitute for therapy or professional support.

Whether you’re in your 20s figuring it all out or in your 30s navigating your next chapter, or even at any age - these lessons may resonate and remind you that you’re not alone on the journey.
